Provides CLSI (NCCLS) and BSAC standard method antibiotic disk-test results of the broadest range of drugs for yeast and bacteria, many contraindicated in other systems
The Biomic Vision AST system can be utilised both as a primary and back-up/complimentary AST-ID system in microbiology labs.
It provides CLSI (NCCLS) and BSAC standard method antibiotic disk-test results of the broadest range of drugs for yeast and bacteria, many contraindicated in other systems, says Laboratory Instruments and Supplies.
In rapid-batch entry mode, up to six plates per minute are read by the Biomic after it automatically interprets the correct drug-panel based on organism and/or Lims-work list.
The Biomic Vision AST system is said to enhance the productivity and reduce material cost and labour time for any laboratory.
Test and QC results are automatically checked by an advanced expert system based on CLSI or BSAC guidelines.
Biomic contains IDTree software, based on CLSI-M35 (rapid final identification of bacteria and yeast) and provides rapid simple procedures to identify 80-90% of isolates in minutes.
IDTree contains explanations, test result photos and procedure flow schemes.
Biomic takes advantage of the flexibility and low cost CLSI or BSAC disk test method and materials, and eliminates the labour to read, interpret and record results.
Biomic's Windows-based system is described as intuitive and reliable, and is used in over 450 laboratories in 48 countries worldwide.
Laboratory Instruments and Supplies (UK) is the UK distributor of the system and other microbiology equipment from Giles Scientific.
